UFOs APPEAR ALL OVER OHIO

On Saturday night, July 20, 1996, at about 11 p.m., a West Virginia
family watching the movie "Independence Day" at a drive-in in Dayton,
Ohio saw a strange formation of colored lights shoot across the sky.

"I saw approximately 7 or 8 teal-colored lights without any specific
shape," Mr. W. said. "They were flying at approximately 40 degrees
above the horizon. Their appearance would have been like street lights
in a very heavy fog. Their overflight was very brief, and they seemed to
be traveling at a very high rate of speed, much faster than commercial
or known military aircraft. They were flying in vee formation. Even
though they were much less clear, they reminded me of the (1952)
Lubbock (Texas) lights. They did not break formation or change
direction at any time. I would estimate that their total time of overflight
to be three to four seconds. It is very hard to determine how far away
they might have been. There was no change in the radio station that
was broadcasting the theatre soundtrack. I did not notice any noise at
the time from them (the UFOs). I would like to know if anyone else in
Dayton saw any UFO activity that night." Mr. W. adds that the teal-
colored lights were flying from north to south. The family was in Dayton
for the U.S. Air and Trade Show when they had their encounter.

On Thursday, July 4, 1996, Laura B., a 28-year-old housewife who
lives near Oregon Road, just off Turnpike 80/90 in Perrysburg, Ohio,
spotted an airborne disk with flashing lights sometime around 11 p.m.

"I could have sworn I saw a UFO this night," Laura reported. "I saw
a UFO fly very low overhead, with lights chasing lights underneath, and
it was going on a path that was unusual for any aircraft in our area.
There were no other lights on the UFO except for the bright chasing
ones that could be seen for miles. There were three underneath and
one up on the tail end of the UFO. Unfortunately, I was the only one
awake (in the family) at the time, and I was not on any type of drugs
or alcohol."

Asked to describe the object further, Laura added, "The UFO's
speed and height are really not known to me, but I would say that its
speed was rather fast, as that of a large jet airliner. Although it was
flying rather fast, it was very low, so I could see it clearly...I didn't see
any red or green lights indicating it was an airplane. I saw it from
miles away, eight to ten miles, and I would say it was pitch dark and
the chasing lights were extremely bright white. Three lights on the
bottom and one up on the tail end, blinking in order from the UFO's
front to back."

In issue #24, UFO ROUNDUP reported the UFO sightings in
Owensville, Ohio, south of Dayton, that took place during July.
Afterward, editor Lucius Farrish of UFO NEWSCLIPPING SERVICE
sent word that Owensville has been the center of a UFO flap dating
back to January 1995.

According to the March 3, 1996 issue of the Cleveland News-
Herald, a "shadowy blur" flew over Owensville on March 29, 1995.
Less than a month later, on April 7, 1995, residents saw "a dome-
shaped object" hovering over Owensville. In the autumn, the flap
began anew. On September 18, 1995, a disk-shaped UFO was seen
in nearby Sharonville, and on September 23, 1995, "a bright white
light" illuminated the night skies over Owensville.

David M. of Cincinnati reports a strange encounter his girlfriend
had five years ago in Blanchester, just north of Owensville.

On a summer night in 1991, David's girlfriend, Stephanie, and her
sister, Lisa, "were harassed by strange bright lights around the Stone
Lick Lake area, and it (UFO) followed her and her sister for five-and-a-
half miles, weaving back and forth across the road at treetop level.
The object was soon joined by another," which followed Stephanie's
car "at about 30 to 35 feet above the ground. This went on until they
were about a half-mile from their trailer home on Marathon Edenton
Road, at which point the UFOs dropped behind the trees. Both (girls)
were extremely shaken but relieved that they were almost home. As
they pulled into their driveway, a bright light rose from behind the
trailer and drifted toward them. The two ran for the front door and let
themselves in quickly. At which point my girlfriend ran into the
bedroom and hid under the covers. Her sister watched the object from
the living room window and watched it hover 12 to 15 feet above the
driveway. Now a strange humming could be heard, similar to that of
a large transformer. The object was still too bright" for Lisa "to
determine its exact shape, but she felt it was round. The object floated
off across the street and over the trailer homes there" before departing.

NEW MEXICO REPORTS TWO CASES OF CATTLE MUTILATION

According to the Albuquerque, N.M. Journal of July 27, 1996, Kevin
McClellan, deputy director of the state Livestock Board, is investigating
two recent cases of cattle mutilation.

Two dead cattle with body parts cut off were found in northern New
Mexico, near the Colorado state line. The Journal reports, "The latest
killing involves a 4-month-old bull calf in Arroyo Hondo, north of Taos.
Its jaw was cut, its tongue was missing, the back parts of the hind-
quarters were cut out, and part of the animal's sex organs were
removed, a report taken by the Taos County Sheriff's Department said."

"The other incident was in the Questa area about a month ago and
included parts missing from a cow's carcass, McClellan said."

(Note: The cow near Questa, N.M. was killed just about the time of the
summer solstice on June 21.)

NEW EYEWITNESS COMES FORWARD IN VARGINHA CASE

Brazilian UFO groups investigating the crash of a UFO north of
Varginha, a city of 120,000 in Brazil's Minas Gerais state during the
early morning house of Saturday, January 20, 1996, have released
more information on the controversial incident.

College student Hildo Lucio Galdino, 20, who lives in the Jardim
Andere section of Varginha, has reportedly told UFO investigators
Ubirajara Franco Rodrigues and Vitorio Pacaccini that he saw one of
the alien survivors shortly after 8 a.m. that norning. Opening his
bathroom window, Hildo looked out and saw "a creature with oily
dark brown skin crouched in the alleyway." The alien, which Hildo
described as having "very small hands with three extremely long
fingers, kind of like a starfish," ran away when Hildo cried out.

According to the investigators, men of Varginha's Fire Department
apprehended the first alien at 10:30 a.m. in front of the house at
Rua Suecia 3, Jardim Andere, Varginha and threw a net over it.

On Monday, January 22, after the aliens were caught and locked
up at the Escola Sargentos de Armas in nearby Tres Coracoes,
Dr. Marco Alves de Carvalho, the veterinarian at the Varginha Zoo,
was reportedly brought to the military post by the army to examine
the six surviving extraterrestrials.

The following day, Tuesday, January 23, at 4 a.m., an Army truck
convoy brought the aliens from the Hospital Humanitas in Campinas,
Sao Paulo state, to the Escola Prepatoria de Cadates do Exercito,
a military school outside Campinas, where they remained for nine
hours.

The dead alien was autopsied at the Hospital Humanitas. The
physicians alleged to have performed the autopsy were Dr. Fortunato
Badan Palhares and Dr. Coradin Nesve, the UFO groups claim. Dr.
Badan attained notoriety in 1989 when it was revealed that he had
performed the autopsy ten years earlier on the fugitive Nazi, Dr.
Joseph Mengele. Following the autopsy, the dead alien was taken
to Amarais Cemetery near the University of Campinas and frozen for
shipment to the United States.

At 9 p.m., the six aliens were driven to Campinas airport where
they were put aboard a twin-engined EMB Buffalo owned by the
Forca Aerea Brasileira (Brazilian Air Force) and flown to Sao Paulo.
When they arrived, the Buffalo taxied out to an access runway where
a U.S. Air Force C-17 transport plane was waiting. The aliens were
then marched aboard the C-17. According to sources in the Sao
Paulo tower, the C-17's destination was Albrook Air Force Base in
Panama.

Sra. Thereza Starace de Magalhaes Teixeira of Campinas told
the UFO researchers that her husband, Adalberto, who was at the
Hospital Humanitas for an operation, saw the dead alien being wheeled
out of the morgue on a gurney.

Sra. Luiza Helena Fatima de Silva, mother of two of the girls who
saw a live alien in the park at 3:30 p.m. January 20, said the four
"intelligence agents," three of them American, who came to her home
on April 29, offered her $20,000 in U.S. dollars, cash, if she would go
on Brazilian TV and deny her daughters' story.

Six Brazilian groups have teamed up to solve the Varginha case.
They include the Sociedade de Estudos Extreterrestres (SEE) of
Florianopolis, the Uniao Brasileira para Pesquisa de Discos
Voadores (UBPDV) of Rio de Janeiro, the Centro de Pesquisas
Exologicas (CPE) of Rio de Janeiro, Grupo de Pesquisas Aereo-
spaciais Zenite (GPAZ) of Salvador, Associao de Pesquisas
Ufologicas do Campo (APUC) of Manaus and Grupo Espirita de
Pesquisa Ufologica (GEPU) of Nova Iguacu.

UFO FLAP ERUPTS IN SOUTHERN CHILE

First Peru, then Brazil, then Australia--now Chile is the latest
country in our planet's southern hemisphere suffering an invasion
of unidentified flying objects. Recent sightings have taken place
around the city of Valdivia, 900 kilometers (565 miles) south of the
nation's capital, Santiago de Chile.

Promptly at noontime on Tuesday, July 9, 1996, a UFO appeared in
the sky over Chillan, a city of 200,000 about 400 kilometers (250 miles)
south of Santiago. The object was described as "very bright" and
"remained motionless for a few minutes and then disappeared at high
speed toward the southeast."

On Thursday night, July 4, 1996, a UFO appeared over the airstrip
at Pichoy, 32 kilometers (20 miles) northwest of Valdivia. "We saw a
large light, accompanied by another small one," the airstrip manager
said. "The luminous UFO went at great speed over the airport, flying
from west to east. In spite of the mist (sea fog), the intensity of the
light was very noticeable and called everybody's attention."

Radar sets at the Pichoy tower did not register the presence of
the UFOs. The objects were seen by the tower staff, the baggage
loaders, plus the crews and passengers of two airliners, one from
Ladeco Airlines, the other from Alta Airlines. The Ladeco jet was
taxiing for takeoff at the time of the sighting. The Alta plane was just
getting its luggage loaded aboard when the UFOs appeared.

On Saturday, June 29, three UFOs flew over the village of
Huellehue (population-240). Among the witnesses was Sgt. Romeo
Ojoda Carrasco of the Chilean Army. He said the three UFOs "seemed
to be flying inside something that looked like a bubble, or perhaps
their own atmosphere. I don't believe in UFOs, but what I saw, with my
companions, does not have a logical explanation. Those objects
moved very fast."

UFOs VISIT THREE NEIGHBORING TOWNS IN LEICESTERSHIRE

The United Kingdom UFO Network's newsletter of August 1, 1996
reprinted this story from the Hinckley, Leics. Herald and Journal of
July 10, documenting a UFO flap in that section of Britain.

"On the evening of Sunday, June 23, several witnesses looked into
the skies and saw some kind of craft, described as a huge triangular
mass with two glowing white lights. One Barwell witness managed to
photograph the object and these are currently being examined by top
investigators."

"James Cox of Wolvey saw the UFO at 9:53 p.m. and described it
as huge and definitely not an aircraft in that there was no sound or
flashing lights."

"Mr. Bill Gail saw the object just before 10 p.m. Mr. Gail of Ruston
Drive, Hinckley said it appeared to hover before going northwest at
speed."

"The chairman of the Leicester UFO Research Society, Mr. Colin
Hill, said his unit has had similar sightings reported to them as far
back as the 1970s."

RHOMBOID-SHAPED UFO ZAPS KAZAKHSTAN

On July 24, 1996, the Russian news agency ITAR-TASS issued
this report: "Teams of officers on duty at the defense headquarters of
Kazakhstan observed for 100 minutes an unidentified flying object
over the capital (city) of Alma Ata on Wednesday morning (July 24),
and the chief, Anatoly Dobrynin, told TASS it looked like 'a steel-
colored rhomb.'"

"The UFO was visually spotted at 04:55 (a.m.) hours local time
Tuesday (July 23) in the eastern section of the city, Colonel
Dobrynin said. The UFO was periodically transmitting a thin green
ray (beam) to the earth, and dim red and yellow lights were
occasionally going on and out (off). The object did not change its
shape or form and flew through the air until it disappeared completely
at 06:35 (a.m.) hours local time, Dobrynin said."

"Radars did not register the UFO, and the officers on duty did not
order interceptor jets into the sky. They said they saw no reason for
that and limited themselves to a report to their supervisor. Konstantin
Katayev, a spokesman for the Emergencies Committee confirmed
this week that information had been received from the military."

"Early in July, motorists saw a red-blue ball hovering in the
outskirts of Alma Ata. The witnesses were returning to the city from
the countryside, and their car engines died when the UFO flew over
the road. Witnesses said they 'felt strong fear for several minutes.'"

UFOs SKULK THROUGH NIGHT SKIES IN ISRAEL

On Thursday, August 1, the Israeli newspaper Maariv published the
startling photo of a UFO on its back page. According to Maariv, the
UFO, described as "a round reflective object," had been seen flying
over a residential area in Moshav Tomar, in the Jordan River valley.
The UFO was photographed at 4 a.m. on August 1.

Editor Michael Lindemann of the ISCNI Flash has reported many
UFO sightings in Israel this summer. According to the ISCNI Flash,
vol. 2, #10, part 2, UFOs have been seen in upper Galilee, in the
Dead Sea region and flying over Haifa Bay.
